A situation that is ironic and often comes paired with the Wah-wah sound effect.

America was formed when a bunch off assholes decided that they didn't want to give money to the country they were born in. The country that provided protection, transportation, and a wide variety of goods during colonization asking simply for a small tax in return. After killing a whole bunch of redcoats, Americans were finally free from having to pay taxes. Then they implemented taxes....Wah-wah.
